GAY BAR PRELUDE (FEAT. JEREMY ATHERTON LIN)
TOM RASMUSSEN • HIGH WIRE (REMIXED AND REIMAGINED)
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 14: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
a celebration of spring featuring stupidly long remixes, plus Jeremy reading magical words by writers including Lynda Barry & James Schuyler
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 13: LIFE IN A PALACE CHANGES ONE
a disco soundscape of Broadway — the big musicals,
but also the sordid porn cinemas of yesteryear. Jeremy recites writers including
Samuel Delany, Frank O’Hara & Andrew Holleran, whose classic nightlife novel
DANCER FROM THE DANCE gives this mix its name
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 12: FEAR GIVES EVERYTHING ITS HUE, ITS HIGH
a collage of poetry & music on the theme of overcoming — and leaning into — fear… with a title that comes from the 1990 Howard Hodgkin painting, once printed as an endpaper for Susan Sontag’s book THE WAY WE LIVE NOW
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 11: THERE WAS FOG ON THE ROAD,
SO I GUESS NO ONE SAW ME ARRIVING
a sonic portrait of Luther Vandross —
who, it’s been claimed, once said: ‘No one knows
I’m in the life‘… here, an homage to his haziness
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 10: A PHOTOGRAPH BEYOND
a mix of drifting thoughts on intersectionality & expansive representation,
taking a cue from artist Deanna Lawson, juxtaposing poetry with
opera, spiritual jazz, avant-garde fuzz + slinky R&B
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 9: THE OVERVIEW EFFECT
an outer space soundscape inspired by the sublime perspective
experienced by astronauts in orbit
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 8: THE HOUSE BOOK
a playful tribute to Terence Conran’s interior design bible THE HOUSE BOOK,
originally published in 1974
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 7: AFTER BLUETS
an aural homage to Maggie Nelson’s book BLUETS
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 6: FICTION
a collage inspired by film noir, kitchen sink dramas, hyperbole, paranoia,
omniscience, espionage & innuendo
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 5: GETTING STONED IN THE SUBURBS
a mix inspired by mumblecore movies, sore throats,
skateboarding in the early ’90s & Coke can pipes
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 4: WWYSLD
a fashiony melange, with initials standing for WHAT WOULD YVES SAINT LAURENT DO, soundtracking the fashion designer’s life — his affinity with Marrakesh, Proust, Matisse & Bach; the time he was stood up by Grace Jones; the rumour he owned Jim Morrison’s concho belt — weaving together (haunted) house tracks with kora + classical music
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 3: IS IT EVER OK TO BE A GREEDY LOVER?
a blend of self-indulgent twelve inch dance mixes
for the randy & restless — a Friday night mess… red flag!
1 HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 2: ON SWIMMING POOLS
a summer vibe inspired by the films THE GRADUATE & PAULINE À LA PLAGE, the novel THE SWIMMING-POOL LIBRARY & the county of Los Angeles
1-HOUR MIXTAPE, No. 1: WHY WE STAYED IN
a mix for homebodies drawing from the novel RAINBOW MILK by Mendez,
the films MOONLIGHT & HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, the paintings of
Andrew Pierre Hart, poetry by Frank O’Hara & Eileen Myles…
